iToner updated for iTunes 8; GarageBand still works too

If you like making custom ringtones for your iPhone, Ambrosia's iToner …

Here at Infinite Loop, we tend to be fans of Ambrosia's iToner when it comes to creating custom ringtones for your iPhone with some very simple steps. Each time iTunes or iPhone software gets updated, though, those poor developers need to update the software for compatibility. Once again, however, Ambrosia is on top of things with an update to iToner that is compatible with iTunes 8.

iToner 1.0.9 doesn't offer much over the last version except compatibility with the new version of iTunes, but the ability to continue to make your own ringtones is its own reward. The software costs $15, though, which is the equivalent of simply buying 15 ringtones through iTunes. So unless you're a frequent ringtone switcher, iToner may not be for you.

If you're interested in the free option, the ol' GarageBand trick still works in creating your own clips to stick on your iPhone. I just tested it out and everything worked just as seamlessly as usual with iTunes 8.
